Larsen Johansson Syndrome is a condition that affects adolescents, often resulting from repetitive stress on the growth plate at the lower part of the kneecap (patella). This syndrome typically occurs in young athletes who participate in activities that involve frequent jumping, running, or kneeling. Symptoms include pain, tenderness, and swelling at the bottom of the kneecap, which may worsen during physical activity.
Larsen Johansson Syndrome can make daily activities and sports challenging for young athletes, as the knee pain and discomfort may restrict their ability to move freely and participate in activities they enjoy. You may feel concerned about your child’s knee pain and uncertain about how to best support their recovery. With the right approach, your child can manage symptoms, strengthen their knee, and get back to active living.
